Fulfilling a Need in the Industry

Why did Winmark Franchise Partners make the decision to launch a franchise
consulting and investment arm? Simply put: there was an existing need
in the market for a franchise advisor that would make a difference. In
fact, according to the IFA and FranData, the leading market research firm
in franchising, approximately 68% of the almost ,3,400 active franchisors
in the United States have 50 units or less. Moreover, 41% of those same
franchisors have less than 10 units, meaning that the majority of franchisors
are still emerging and need help to grow, gain experience and efficiencies,
and get access to capital. We have the expertise that franchisors, entrepreneurs,
and business owners need to help them start and grow their franchise systems
more successfully and more profitably.

We can help various types of entities, such as:

Select entrepreneurs looking to develop a franchise concept or franchise
an existing business

Emerging franchisors in need of franchise management services to help fix
or grow their franchise system

Mature franchisors looking for franchise advisory services to turn around
a stagnant business or in need of an exit strategy

Larger corporations looking at franchising as a growth vehicle for a new
product, service or division

Private equity groups looking to divest franchise brands

Private equity groups looking for an operational due diligence partner
